Jets beat Adur Tigers after coming back from 2 sets down and 3 match points against them in the 4th!
The Jets had a full squad, but Dom was far from fully fit due to illness. The first set went to Adur with Kishan and Iain through the outside, Josh and Dom through the middle and Martin setting with Matt Wilkes opposite. Bernard replaced Kishan and Matt Lay came on in the second set, but although closer the result was the same and the Jets had a long fight ahead of them to avoid defeat. Some strong jump serving from Martin, more mobility in back court, Kishan replacing the clearly under the weather Dom and inspired blocking and hitting from Josh secured the third set. A strong start in the fourth set from Adur was pegged back once again by strong serving from Martin before Adur had a run of points to take them the 24-21 and serving for the match! The Jets showed great character to close the gap and win the set to take it to a final set decider! The Jets finally showed some form to storm to any early lead that they never looked like losing. The Jets finally closed out the set and can look forward to a bit of a break until their next match in Feb. Bernard secured player of the match and must have been pushed by Josh who was outstanding in every set.
